Sustainability in Existing Buildings

By

Lisa Wright

Existing buildings are responsible for 17% of GHG emissions worldwide. 

Retrofitting buildings to be more energy efficient is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce emissions and create healthier, more comfortable indoor spaces.


Retrofitting can involve anything from improving insulation and air sealing, to replacing inefficient HVAC systems or installing renewable energy sources such as solar panels. The benefits of retrofitting a building include reduced energy costs, improved air quality and comfort, and fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the resulting changes can help to improve the overall aesthetic of a building while making it more appealing to potential tenants or buyers. 


Ultimately, retrofitting is an important part of creating a greener and healthier future for all. Investing in retrofitting now can help to save money in the long run, while also helping to reduce emissions and create healthier, more comfortable indoor spaces. Whether you’re looking to improve energy efficiency or increase your property value, retrofitting is a great way to go green and make a difference.
